Hot adhesive guns, also known as hot glue guns, are handheld tools that use heat to melt and dispense a thermoplastic adhesive. The guns are typically made of plastic or metal and consist of a trigger, a heating element, and a nozzle. The heating element is powered by electricity and heats up the glue stick, which is inserted into the back of the gun. The melted glue is then dispensed through the nozzle when the trigger is pulled. Hot adhesive guns are commonly used in a variety of applications, including arts and crafts, woodworking, and DIY home repairs. They are popular because they are easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and can bond a wide range of materials, including wood, plastic, fabric, and metal. The adhesive dries quickly and forms a strong, durable bond. There are two main types of hot adhesive guns: low-temperature and high-temperature. Low-temperature guns operate at a lower temperature and are designed for use with delicate materials such as foam, ribbon, and lace. High-temperature guns operate at a higher temperature and are designed for use with heavier materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. When using a hot adhesive gun, it is important to follow safety precautions to prevent burns and other injuries. Users should wear protective gloves and avoid touching the hot glue or nozzle. The gun should be placed on a heat-resistant surface when not in use, and the glue stick should be inserted into the back of the gun with the end of the stick facing the nozzle.
